DEPLOYMENT STRATEGIST
FULL-TIME | UK & ARCTIC | OPS
THE LAST FRONTIER
Arctic Research and Development (ARD) is building technology to unlock the last great frontier on Earth. An expanse 1.5 times the size of the US, the Arctic is becoming the epicenter of geopolitical tensions, climatic shifts, and economic opportunity. We cut through this complexity — while preserving the integrity of the planet’s most fragile wilderness.
Built by pioneers with 30+ years of polar experience, we know that autonomous systems are the key to operational success. Working at the fringes of technological capabilities, this is a company that takes big bets on hard problems.
If you want to build and deploy ground-up technology with real-world impact - at an inflection point in history that won’t reappear - we want you at ARD.

Your expertise and fluency with the procurement process will also be fundamental in getting the solution into the clients hands. The role will demand a curious and analytical approach, a sharp intuition for product and market, and a strong degree of user insight that will both realise ARD’s vision and empower customers to improve decisions.
